Ramblings of the journey to find my fulcrum of life, and achieve that perfect balance between living with my family & neighbors, and living the natural and eco-friendly life I want to live.

And For November I Will
I have made the decision, although failed to post it, that I will now properly dispose of all non-rechargeable batteries. We never really used many of these little things until recently. Bought a Wii, changed to a wireless mouse, Ziggy has taken to reading by flashlight till the wee hours of the morning, and a few other odds n ends. So I am now officially committed to taking all my batteries to the hazardous waste disposal. No more trash cans for them!
Homemade Greek Yogurt
-
I eat a lot of plain whole milk Greek yogurt, which is not only expensive
but uses a lot of plastic. So, I got myself this little Bear yogurt maker
that do...
I am an average, crunchy-wanna-be, mid-western woman living a fairly typical suburban life. I am married to FM (technically stands for Flatulence Man, but it should also be Fantastic Man as well, to steal a phrase from a friend) who is very supportive of all my crazy ideas and projects I undertake in the name of "improving" our lives. I am mother to Ziggy, a 7yr old girl who is obsessed with pioneers right now, and to Gherkie, a 6yr old girl who loves animals.
If I could live my dream life, I'd be on a profitable farm (organic & sustainable, of course) surrounded by good friends and family, living a simple life uncomplicated by the throws of consumerism, enjoying the bounty of good hard work, and be able to fairly easily provide for my family with what we have around us.
I am me. Unlike my kids, who are most likely to be someone else on a daily basis, I chose to be me most the time. Sometimes that is easy, and sometimes it ain't! I am the wife to FM (Flatulance Man, Fondue Man, Fantastic Man ... you take your pick for what it stands for.)and mom to two crazy kids. This is my little portal into my world and all the insanity and stability I bring to the party.
